Either you're saying they are playing well or they aren't. I don't read double speak very well. For the Skins to make the playoffs next year, there will be a ton of things that will have to happen and a ton of changes that need to be made. But to claim that the Skins are looking like a playoff team now has me asking Baldinger to put the crack pipe down.

I disagree. For the Skins to be good next season, they need to NOT make a ton of changes. Like they do every off-season. The defense needs work, leave the offense alone.
We need a 2 linebackers, a strong safety, and a DE. That is alot of fill in one off-season, and most likely, it won't happen. Yet there are very few defenses in this league that have solid contributors in every position. Getting just half of that would do this defense a great service.
The offense is fine. Portis has never played with Campbell behind center, and the difference in defensive playcalling since Campbell became starter shows he'd be doing even better than Betts. The offensive line is set, I think Dockery will be re-signed. Continuity in this playbook, as well as Campbell getting more comfortable with the pro game is all they need. With the NFC as weak as it is, that should be enough for a team to compete for the playoffs.
